Echoes of Revolution: Nicaragua Hector Garza

ECHOES OF REVOLUTION: NICARAGUA by Maria-Tania Bandes-Becerra Weingarden with Translations by Hector Garza. This book is broken up into five primary sections corresponding to very specific political climates in Nicaragua: The Colonial Period, Yanqui Imperialism, Sandinista, Democracy, and a segment that focuses on more contemporary trends within the democratic political temperament. Each chapter has a portion that discusses some political underscores of said era, some discussion on the theatre that emerges of said political era, and the ones that contain a translated work include a brief introduction to the playwright and play chosen to exemplify the political era discussed. The three plays in this volume are LOOK INTO MY EYES by Luis Harold Agurto, PEASANTS by Pablo Antonio Cuadra, and DARK ROOT OF THE SCREAM by Alfredo Valessi. This book is part of the Dreaming the Americas Series from NoPassport Press.
